Dry Beriberi and Acute Motor-Sensory Axonal Neuropathy-Induced Paralysis: A Case Report. [PDF]

Cureus
Acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and a rare cause of paralysis. AMSAN can present similarly to axonal neuropathy caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, which is known as dry beriberi. Subtle differences in clinical presentation and diagnostic differences in nerve conduction studies (NCS ...

Acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy in association with primary Sjögren’s syndrome: a case report [PDF]

BMC Neurology, 2021
AbstractBackgroundPrimary Sjögren’s syndrome is a chronic, autoimmune, connective tissue disorder that results from the infiltration of exocrine glands, especially the lacrimal and salivary glands, by autoantibodies. Patients with Sjögren’s syndrome commonly present with dry eyes (xerophthalmia) and dry mouth (xerostomia).

Atypical Electrophysiological Findings in a Patient with Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2017
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy with acute onset and rapid clinical worsening; early diagnosis and immunomodulating therapy can ameliorate the course of disease. During the first days, however, nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are not always conclusive.

A Case of Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy Secondary to SGN-LIV1A Therapy

Cureus, 2022
Antibody-drug conjugate therapy is rarely associated with neurologic immune-related phenomena. In this case report, we present a patient on treatment with SGN-LIV1A antibody-drug conjugate for breast cancer who developed progressive asymmetric quadriparesis, more severe in the bilateral upper extremities.

Concurrent Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy and Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura [PDF]

Military Medicine, 2013
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a potentially life-threatening autoimmune disease causing demyelination of peripheral nerves. Multiple variants of GBS exist, with acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) being the most severe. GBS typically does not occur in the setting of other autoimmune diseases; however, few case reports do exist ...

Directional Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease: Results of an International Crossover Study With Randomized, Double‐Blind Primary Endpoint

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objective Published reports on directional deep brain stimulation (DBS) have been limited to small, single‐center investigations. Therapeutic window (TW) is used to describe the range of stimulation amplitudes achieving symptom relief without side effects.
